Abstract
Transaortic (TAo) transcatheter aortic valve implantation has become a valid alternative access route in patients with unsuitable femoral arteries. The current literature does not allow to clearly favor one of the alternative access routes. Every approach has its specific advantages. Transaortic (TAo) access is of particular importance in the case of calcifications of the supra-aortic branches and the aortic arch, as under these circumstances other alternative access routes, such as transaxillary or transcarotid, are not feasible. The purpose of this minireview is to give an overview and update on TAo transcatheter aortic valve implantation focusing on indication, technical aspects, and recent clinical data.

Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a widely adopted treatment modality for severe aortic stenosis. Transfemoral access is the approach of choice; however, approximately 25% of patients undergoing TAVR also have concomitant peripheral arterial disease. The recent advent of intravascular lithotripsy has enabled preservation of transfemoral access in some patients; although, a proportion still require alternative, non-femoral access. Alternative access sites can be broadly categorized into transthoracic and peripheral, facilitated by surgical or percutaneous techniques. In this review, the technical details and clinical outcomes of various TAVR accesses are discussed. Initially, transthoracic approaches were most common, but recently, the trend has been toward alternative peripheral access due to superior outcomes. Although there are no randomized data to support all the alternative access sites, the experiences reported provide available options for a large portion of patients to be candidates for TAVR. The intervention site should be selected by a multidisciplinary heart team based on patient anatomical factors and institutional expertise.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate image quality, and radiation dose between ECG-gated singlesource and dual-source CT Angiography (CTA) protocols for planning of Trans-catheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) with a reference non ECG-gated single-source protocol. METHODS A total of 120 patients were included in four groups: Non ECG-gated single-source (SS), ECG-gated single-source (SSECG), ECG-gated dual-source high-pitch (DSECG), or non-ECG-gated dual-source high-pitch mode (DS). Qualitative image quality of the aortic annulus, aortic valve, and coronary ostia as well as presence of motion or stair-step artefacts of the thoracic aorta were independently assessed by two readers. Quantitative image quality was assessed to calculate contrast to noise ratio. RESULTS Subjective and objective scoring of motion artefacts was significantly reduced in SSECG, DSECG and DS (p= 0.010). The imaging length was comparable between groups. Aortic annulus, aortic valve, and coronary ostia were reliably evaluable in all patients with SSECG, DSECG and DS protocols. CONCLUSION High-pitch, dual-source CT angiography of the whole aorta with or without ECG gating is a dose-efficient and time-saving examination strategy before TAVI. However acquisition timing within the cardiac cycle needs to be taken into account.

Abstract
Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular pathology and has traditionally been managed using surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). A large proportion of affected patient demographics, however, are unfit to undergo major surgery given underlying comorbidities. Since its introduction in 2002, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has gained popularity and transformed the care available to different-risk group patients with severe symptomatic AS. Specific qualifying criteria and refinement of TAVI techniques are fundamental in determining successful outcomes for intervention. Given the successful applicability in high-risk patients, TAVI has been further developed and trialed in intermediate and low-risk patients. Within intermediate-risk patient groups, TAVI was shown to be noninferior to SAVR evaluating 30-d mortality and secondary endpoints such as the risk of bleeding, development of acute kidney injury, and length of admission. The feasibility of expanding TAVI procedures into low-risk patients is still a controversial topic in the literature. A number of trials have recently been published which demonstrate TAVI as noninferior and even superior over SAVR for primary study endpoints.

Abstract
Occupational doses during fluoroscopy in interventional procedures vary largely (Kim et al. (Occupational radiation doses to operators performing cardiac catheterization procedures. Health Phys. 2008;94:211-227)). In transcatheter aortic valve implantation, the operators' positions and use of radiation shielding are particularly related to the entry choice on the patient's heart. This study evaluates how occupational doses depend on operator positioning during transfemoral and transaortal access. Occupational dosimetric readings were collected with electronic dosemeters on two cardiothoracic surgeons and one cardiologist during 31 procedures. The findings were significantly higher body doses and eye lens doses to the surgeons during transaortal access compared to transfemoral access. The median equivalent eye lens dose per procedure received by the cardiologists was 0.05-0.06 mSv; hence, the cardiologists should wear protective eye wear to prevent reaching the proposed annual dose limit of 20 mSv to the eye lens. Surgeons ought to use protective eye wear as well, and should only perform a restricted number of transcatheter aortic valve implantations with transaortal access annually.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The Registry of the Utilization of the TAo-TAVR approach using the Edwards SAPIEN Valve (ROUTE) was established to assess the effectiveness and safety of the use of transaortic (TAo) access for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures (NCT01991431). BACKGROUND TAVR represents an alternative to surgical valve replacement in high-risk patients. Whereas the transfemoral access route is used commonly as the first-line approach, transapical access is an option for patients not suitable for transfemoral treatment mainly due to anatomic conditions. TAo-TAVR has been shown to be a viable alternative surgical access route; however, only limited data on its effectiveness and safety has been published. METHODS ROUTE is a multicenter, international, prospective, observational registry; data were collected from 18 centers across Europe starting in February 2013. Patients having severe calcific aortic stenosis were documented if they were scheduled to undergo TAo-TAVR using an Edwards SAPIEN XT or a SAPIEN 3 valve. The primary endpoint was 30-day mortality. Secondary endpoints were intraprocedural or in hospital and 30-day complication rates. RESULTS A total of 301 patients with a mean age of 81.7 ± 5.9 years and an Society of Thoracic Surgeons score of 9.0 ± 7.6% were included. Valve success was documented in 96.7%. The 30-day mortality was 6.1% (18/293) (procedure-related mortality: 3.1%; 9 of 293). The Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 defined complications included myocardial infarction (1.0%), stroke (1.0%), transient ischemic attack (0.3%), major vascular complications (3.4%), life-threatening bleeding (3.4%), and acute kidney injury (9.5%). In 3.3% of patients, paravalvular regurgitation was classified as moderate or severe (10 of 300). Twenty-six patients (8.8%) required permanent pacemaker implantation. CONCLUSIONS TAo access for TAVR seems to be a safe alternative to the transapical procedure.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to perform a meta-analysis on transaortic (TAo) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in order to gain more insight into the safety and efficacy of the approach in addition to the data available from selected centres with small numbers of patients. METHODS AND RESULTS PubMed and EMBASE were searched on 31 August 2016. The search yielded 251 studies, of which 16 with 1,907 patients were included in the meta-analysis. All were observational, single-arm studies. The rate of conversion to sternotomy was 3.2% (95% CI: 2.3-3.5%; I2=0) among nine studies. Device success among 10 studies was 91% (95% CI: 86.7-94.0%; I2=25.5). Major vascular complications occurred at a rate of 3.1% (95% CI: 1.6-6.0%; I2=60.8). Moderate or severe paravalvular leakage/aortic valve regurgitation (PVL/AR) was reported to be 6.7% (95% CI: 4.3-10.1%; I2=58.9). Permanent pacemaker implantation was required in 11.7% (95% CI: 9.2-14.8%; I2=26.5) of patients. Pooled 30-day post-TAVI complication rates were 9.9% (95% CI: 8.6-11.3%; I2=0) for mortality, 3.7% (95% CI: 2.4-5.6%; I2=28.7) for all stroke, and 1.0% for myocardial infarction (95% CI: 0.5-1.7%; I2=0). The Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 (VARC-2) composite safety endpoint occurred at a pooled rate of 16.7% (95% CI: 10.6-25.3%; I2=58.7). CONCLUSIONS In this meta-analysis of observational studies, transaortic TAVI appears to be a safe procedure with low complication rates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Edwards SAPIEN-XT or SAPIEN-3 transcatheter heart valves via transaortic (TAo) access. METHODS A total of 100 consecutive patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis undergoing TAo-transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) were included in this observational registry (November 2012-December 2014). Periprocedural and post-procedural outcomes were assessed. RESULTS Of these 100 patients, 1 received a Medtronic CoreValve. Therefore, this patient was subsequently removed from the analysis. Ninety-nine consecutive TAo-TAVI patients received a balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve (Sapien). The SAPIEN-XT valve was implanted in 53 patients and the SAPIEN-3 valve in 46 patients. Fluoroscopy time was shorter in the SAPIEN-3 cases (5.6 ± 2.5 vs 8.1 ± 5.1 min, SAPIEN-XT; P = 0.004), with fewer patients requiring dilatation after the operation (20.5% SAPIEN-3 vs 64.2% SAPIEN-XT; P < 0.0001). There were no other significant differences in procedural characteristics between the two valves. All-cause 30-day mortality was 5.1% overall, with comparable outcomes for the two valves (5.7 and 4.4% for SAPIEN-XT and SAPIEN-3 valves, respectively; OR: 1.32; 95% CI: 0.21-8.27; P = 1.0). New atrial fibrillation (13.1%) and acute kidney injury (11.1%) were the most common complications during the 30 days post-procedure. The number of new pacemakers was low (6.1%), with no differences found between the two valve groups. A comparison of 100 TAo- and 42 TA-TAVI implanted in the same period demonstrated similar results in short- (P = 0.31) and long-term (P = 0.99) mortality rates. CONCLUSIONS The efficacy and safety of the Edwards SAPIEN-XT or SAPIEN-3 heart valves via TAo access were demonstrated by high procedural success and low complication rates. The data indicate that this approach is a viable alternative to established access routes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Transaortic aortic valve implantation (TAo-AVI) through the ascending aorta is a novel technique and is used as an alternative in patients with poor femoral access. Although early results have been promising, no midterm data have been published yet. To determine whether this approach is an acceptable treatment option, we analyzed the first 100 cases performed at our institution with a follow-up to 3 years. METHODS Between July 2011 and January 2015, a total of 100 patients with high-risk or inoperable aortic valve stenosis were treated with TAo-AVI. Preoperative patient data were collected and analyzed retrospectively. All surviving patients were seen for clinical and echocardiographic examination for follow-up. RESULTS Median follow-up was 15 months. Device success was accomplished in 94 patients (94%). There were no access site complications. The 30-day mortality rate was 9%. Stroke occurred in a total of six patients (6%). Survival at 1-, 2-, and 3 years was 75%, 62%, and 58%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that TAo-AVI is a promising alternative to transapical implantation for treating severe inoperable aortic valve stenosis.

Abstract
For symptomatic patients with severe calcified aortic valve stenosis, open heart surgery for aortic valve replacement remains the gold standard. However, elderly patients with an increased risk profile can be treated by using transcatheter approaches (transcatheter aortic valve implantation [TAVI]). The major considerations related to use of general and local anaesthesia for TAVI are discussed in this review.

New-onset atrial fibrillation after aortic valve replacement: comparison of transfemoral, transapical, transaortic, and surgical approaches. J Am Coll Cardiol 2014; 63:1510-9.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the incidence of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) associated with different methods of isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR)-transfemoral (TF), transapical (TA), and transaortic (TAo) catheter-based valve replacement and conventional surgical approaches. BACKGROUND The relative incidences of AF associated with the various access routes for AVR have not been well characterized. METHODS In this single-center, retrospective cohort study, we evaluated a total of 231 consecutive patients who underwent AVR for degenerative aortic stenosis (AS) between March 2010 and September 2012. Patients with a history of paroxysmal, persistent, or chronic AF, with bicuspid aortic valves, and patients who died within 48 h after AVR were excluded. A total of 123 patients (53% of total group) qualified for inclusion. Data on documented episodes of new-onset AF, along with all clinical, echocardiographic, procedural, and 30-day follow-up data, were collated. RESULTS AF occurred in 52 patients (42.3%). AF incidence varied according to the procedural method. AF occurred in 60% of patients who underwent surgical AVR (SAVR), in 53% after TA-TAVR, in 33% after TAo-TAVR cases, and 14% after TF-TAVR. The episodes occurred at a median time interval of 53 (25th to 75th percentile, 41 to 87) h after completion of the procedure. Procedures without pericardiotomy had an 82% risk reduction of AF compared with those with pericardiotomy (adjusted odds ratio: 0.18; 95% confidence interval: 0.05 to 0.59). CONCLUSIONS AF was a common complication of AVR with a cumulative incidence of >40% in elderly patients with degenerative AS who underwent either SAVR or TAVR. AF was most common with SAVR and least common with TF-TAVR. Procedures without pericardiotomy were associated with a lower incidence of AF.
